Lol i remember using the Hypnotise Big Daddy plasmid on a Bouncer in Fort Frolic to fight the guys you have to photograph, was awesome fun watching the Big Daddy on fire charging through the entire level after them :D.
 
Well if you have the grenade launcher then use a few grenades against him...or best wya ive found to kill him off is by sneaking upon him, make sure the LS is around or its a wasted kill. Hit him with a few proximity grenades then hit him with frag grenades...hopefully that shoudl kill him off...if not then revert to using the rpg rockets on him. If all that fails then make sure u use the armour piercing bullets from the pistol and machine gun. But by then he should be more or less dead.

Basically to kill him off, the big daddy you have to use your grenades, rockets and armour peircing bullets. If you havent got any of those then either buy some or wait till you have collected enough. I usually do the Big Daddys at the end of the level

My fave plasmid is gotta be the hypnotise Big Daddy...great fun as he can kill the splicers off for you:p


dont have any type of granades :(!
Do i have to shoot the tanks on his back or anywhere?
 
MAN! This game is awesome!
One scene that shocked me to brown phants was in the dental room, when I turned around and some thug was immediately behind me!

Great game so far, just reached Nepture Bounty and saw the "new" big daddy thing, having some problems with it and its gun...

Will play more, need to change my phants now...

I've just finished that level and that splicer behind me made me jump.

Its just took me about 3 hours to do that level though, so I can see this game taking me about 30 hours if there are 12 levels.

Mind you I am making sure I'm finding all the audio files.
 
Question,

I have got more plasmids than slots. The instructions say buy more slots from the gatherer gardens. When I went to one at the end of the level medical pavillion there was no option to buy another slot???

Does that just come later?
 
Finally went into town and bought the game today!
Only played it for around 10 minutes but it seems a great game. Very atmospheric like Condemned was so far. Loving the old style music to complement the surroundings. The conversations the mutant thingies have are quite amusing.

Ermmm not really, wont make a blind bit of difference tbh. Really u need to buy some proximity grenades, frag and rockets if you got any money left. Otherwise shock him then shoot him and hopefully you will get him down. But doing it that way will just make it that much more difficult...surely you can find some or buy some..without the rockets and grenades its very very difficult to beat him tbh.

Right well im almost finished, that Fontaine fella is a bugger to kill...having major probs getting him down..especially on the second adam drain...god knows which weapon is the best to use....been using the crossbow with some effect but the barsteward just keeps freezing me out the second time round:(.

Great time so far, taken me almost a week to finish it but then ive only been playing a few hrs here or there.

Depends on if you have enough adam from harvesting the sisters...if you dont then it wont allow you to but i think you might have to wait till the next level to buy a new one iirc.

found fontaine ok. use electric gel from chemical thrower to keep him stunned.
 
Finally after 3 hrs of trying to beat the bugger, i managed to do it:p. Not a bad ending although i harvested the LS rather than save them. Think im gonna go through it again and save them rather that harvest them.

Have to say i kinda felt sorry for the LS, in a funny way they kinda cute and i love their interaction with the BD's.

All in all i have to say its a pretty decent game, not as short or as easy as i thought it would be.
 
Hmm... I completed this without really using any of the special ammo types except armour piercing on the machine gun for the BDs.
 
heh i was permanently running out of ammo until the later levels. those bd ate it up. and the houdini splicers before my tonic upgrade.
 
Done.

SS2 underwater but still brilliant.

Stunning atmostphere. Playing in the dark, surround sound on a 9ft screen. There were some severe chills down spine moments.

Oh, don't neglect that wrench. Was my main weapon for the last 3 to 4 levels as I built up ammo reserves.

Is it worth spending the Adam on Eve and health upgrades?

Yup i would say so, increasing your health means you take more damage before you die and also increasing your eve holding capability is useful especially when your being bombarded by splicers etc.
